@tomc @mvnla2 There seems to be some inconsistencies here. @dr_ishmael made it to the silver league, stopped playing and dropped back to the wood league. He ended up getting a wooden frame, not a silver frame.

@Tomc — I’ve never been in the gold league, but got the gold trophy and frame anyway.

@dr_ishmael @neomerlinmagic @tomc @tigerussell @larry @mvnla2

After considering all the information on the final boards and where people finish, I think

You are awarded the frame based on your final position at the end of the final week. This is how we originally thought it would work.

The mixing up of players on peoples leaderboards (e.g. tomc…[Read more]

@tomc That’s very interesting. Out of 9 players who have claimed their prize, only 3 appeared to actually be in diamond. I now wish I had taken more notice of my leaderboard.

Did you join your arena game late again this week? It must be something to do with your level and the difficulty in finding players to fill spaces on your leaderboard.

And…[Read more]

@tomc Thanks, that is essentially what I have been doing.

@tomc I want your leaderboard this week. How late did you start? Did you miss one or two objectives?

@tomc, you’re right. Although @snarky and I are on the same board now and he has seen lower scores for me on his board. It seems that the scores are not always synced properly.

@tomc the achievement itself doesn’t require to end week at first place in daimond league. You could get it even if you wer first for a moment.

@tomc, glad it worked for you and you were able to get where you wanted.

I’ve been still running the test and still have solitary leagues. I see @larry mentioned that the update is now forced. I haven’t logged in yet. Been really busy this past week. I haven’t wanted to play for that reason. Now that it is forced I will check to see what…[Read more]

@tomc, I honestly wasn’t aware they were still in there. I ran into them a lot before the update came out, but haven’t seen any since. I think they are working on it hard, although it seems that I was just lucky in the last few days then.

The diamond leagues were completely unplayable with average opponents in my previous league. I ended up…[Read more]

@tomc Yes, you can get demoted if you don’t play for a week. Dr_ishmael reported that he got demoted to Wood two weeks ago because he didn’t play. He didn’t say what league he was in the previous week, but I would assume that it was Stone.

@tomc You already posted the complete stats for set items, I didn’t feel I needed to repost it. The margin between set items and non-set items decreases at higher leagues, to the point that Diamond set items are equal to Diamond 4-star items (5865), so it’s a non-linear relationship.

@tomc Yep, that’s how all non-set items work in both machines. For bird equipment, they can be compared to crafted items, and 2* GPM items have the same stats as 2* crafted items of the same level, so that’s why I normalize GPM/GAPM items at 2*.

@tomc That’s equivalent to level 35 2-star, which is 3040 in Wood League, times 120% = 3648. That checks out too, thanks!

@tomc @kerravon Of course I did not use any healing birds like Paladin, no set items that will revive birds no other obvious things. My banner does not heal either.

If the birds are knocked out and revive again after 3 turns, does this count as healing?

When you got this objective, what birds exactly did you use?

@chriss and @tomc There is a “help with daily objective” thread that talks about this topic.

With regard to this particular objective, having vitality on your banner does not count as healing. But revive abilities of Chuck and Blues do count. You just have avoid using Paladin, your healers (you can use them but don’t do any healing), weapons…[Read more]

@tomc 5 spins is an insignificant data set. Check the thread that @mvnla2 mentioned, we’ve accumulated a lot more data than that.

@davidj0525 @tomc — There is a forum thread on the GP in the original game. It sounds like the arena GP may have even worse odds. I’m not playing the arena, so I don’t have any data.
Suggest you send your data directly to Rovio.

@tomc, absolutely right. Since cheaters likely will have cheated their way up on the XP ladder anyway, they would mostly be lvl 41…
